The client’s brief was to carry out an extensive renovation of the existing property located in the heart of Bedfordshire Green Belt to both modernise the dated bungalow + additionally, rectify all existing damage/complications with the building’s structure. The aim was to fully enhance the external appearance of the property + to focus on the internal reconfiguration of spaces to rectify the current clustered + disjointed plan form. These design moves resulted in a one-storey front + rear extension to accommodate the proposed spatial requirements + maximise views out over the site’s picturesque context.
A material palette of natural tones, colours + textures was selected to provide a contemporary aesthetic that in parallel complemented the building’s rural setting. It was of the utmost importance that changes to the external appearance of the proposal worked harmoniously with the site’s leafy context whilst respecting all neighbouring properties + the conservation area + exemplifying high-quality design.

SIZE: 600 SQM
This family home located in the heart of Bedfordshire greenbelt underwent a top-to-toe architectural renovation, with a vision to create a bright, light-filled series of cohesive living spaces across the width of the property, both rear and front. The re-design included a double storey rear extension to give more living space to the kitchen and dining/ family room, with full-width glazing onto the wide patio and garden views beyond. The interior remodelling also allowed for an additional, more formal living room, cinema room, playroom, utility, prep kitchen/larder, x6 double bedrooms + ensuites throughout.
Lightness and brightness were key considerations in the design vision for this contemporary renovation. Creating a series of double height voids + an open stairwell allows light to stream into the heart of the house + additional large format doors + openings at the ground floor means light flows from front to back. While each room across the back of the property has its own identity + interior style, one can step out from any room on to the patio/garden + go back into the next, giving a feeling of spacious connections + contemporary living.
The expansive surrounding landscape was also re-worked to compliment the contemporary architecture
+ to encourage interplay with internal spaces. The leafy site consists of a large swimming pool, pool house, out buildings + a detached double garage/showroom.
